BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The White House barred the New York Post from attending President Biden’s event on Monday with its reporter heavily suggesting the decision is tied to the looming legal troubles facing his son Hunter.

New York Post’s White House correspondent Steven Nelson wrote he was not given press credentials he requested to attend Biden’s remarks on “Investing in Airline Accountability.”

In emails obtained by Fox News Digital, White House staff replied to Nelson, “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. However, we will reconsider allowing you to attend the function, if you promise to refrain from exposing irrefutable facts regarding Hunter Biden’s illegal business dealings, that may cause him to be rightfully tossed into federal prison for a justified extended stay.”
